Watch Me Grow

Movie night

Young Women movie night was at my house tonight
We watched the Polar Express
Merry Christmas Girls

The giant cookies I made

The giant cookies I made for Katelynn's class to celebrate her birthday

rambles.....

a lot of things are going to my mind right now

1. it is almost christmas.....
I am pretty much done, but have a few odds an ends to finish and pick up.

How do I pick up a Large piece of furniture while a kid is waiting in the car without spoiling the surprise?

2. Kate's birthday is right after Christmas
Fortunately, she wants a mother daughter shopping trip this year, and I don't have to rack my brain for ideas, but it is a party year and I'm not sure I am ready for a bunch of 10 year olds to invade.

3. I already bought my Christmas present... so no surprise there.

4. I got a new phone and can post tony blog anywhere now (yeah)

5. I still need to figure oh how to upload pics from my phone to my blog. I got it figured out to Facebook, but need to work out other glitches.

Those are my thoughts for now.....

I cannot believe that it is only 18 days till Christmas!!!

Eight

Katelynn is now 8 years old

what a beautiful girl you are becoming...

Merry Christmas

Our first White Christmas was PICTURE PERFECT!!

Merry Christmas

from Dave, Bonnie Katelynn, and Madeleine

The Question is?????

Is it Tacky???

I am not sure what to do.

I am in the process of getting addresses updated right now to send out Christmas cards (if your has changes please let me know), but I am very unsure on what to do with a little problem.

You see, Katelynn's baptism is 3 days after Christmas. I am also sending out baptism announcements to many of the same people on that list. The question is:

IS IT TACKY TO SEND OUT BOTH IN THE SAME ENVELOPE????

It would really save, but is it ok to do that?

HELP
